During this period, the relationship between Wang Ziteng, the old fox, and Jia She developed rapidly and became closer and closer.

Jia Zheng didn't understand why his second uncle got together with his eldest brother. It didn't make sense, and the two of them were not the same kind of people.

Wang Ziteng often visited Rongguo Mansion, and every time he went straight to the main house, as if he had forgotten about his sister, Lady Wang.

After sending Jia Lian away, Wang Ziteng said again: "Brother Enhou, are you free this afternoon? Someone from my family sent me some good wine. Shall we have a drink?"

Wang Ziteng wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to drink with Jia She, and Jia She naturally agreed happily, "Of course I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I don't have to go to court. I am an idle person. Aren't you busy?"

"No matter how busy I am, I still have time to drink with Brother Enhou." Wang Ziteng said with a smile.

Jia She felt that Wang Ziteng's words were pleasant to the ear. No wonder Wang Ziteng could become the emperor's confidant. Just look at how well others speak and he loves to listen.

Jia She is also willing to be on good terms with Wang Ziteng. The better his relationship with Wang Ziteng, the smoother Jia Lian's career will be.

In the future, when Jia Cheng grows up, he will also be able to take advantage of Wang Ziteng's power.

Besides, Jia She still wants to use Wang Ziteng to deal with Mrs. Wang.

Wasn't it because Mrs. Wang was able to act tyrannically and lawlessly in Rongguo Mansion in the past because she relied on having a good brother like Wang Ziteng?

Then let Wang Ziteng and Wang Yarong separate.

Now Wang Ziteng is obviously dissatisfied with Mrs. Wang. Every time Jia She drinks, he will say bad things about Mrs. Wang in front of Wang Ziteng, making Wang Ziteng even more disappointed with Mrs. Wang.

After drinking, Wang Ziteng and Jia She would send a message to Nanny Wang, asking her to calm down and give Madam Wang some peace of mind.

When Nanny Wang received the order, she naturally took the chicken feathers as a token of authority and severely criticized Madam Wang.

Mrs. Wang was having a hard time, so she sent a message to Jia Zheng, asking him to plead with Wang Ziteng to let her out.

Jia Zheng wanted to have some emotional communication with Wang Ziteng, and then ask him to release Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang had been imprisoned for more than a month and looked very pitiful.

Mrs. Wang had a very bad time during this period. She ate simple meals every day without any meat, and also had to do homework in the Buddhist hall. She lost a lot of weight.

She was so hungry that her face was pale and her body was thin. Her eyes lit up when she smelled meat, and she wished she could eat Nanny Wang alive.

Jia She and Mrs. Xing guarded the place very carefully, so Mrs. Wang couldn't even get a drop of oil.

Really pitiful.

Jia Zheng followed behind Wang Ziteng and Jia She. Seeing the two of them talking happily, he hesitated to speak. Finally, he could not help but said, "Brother, second uncle, I have nothing to do this afternoon."

Jia Cheng was originally drowsy in Jia She's arms, but when he heard Jia Zheng's words, he couldn't help but open his eyes and look at him.

Jia Zheng looked at the cute little nephew in front of him, his clear eyes staring straight at him, and he couldn't help feeling shy.

He wondered secretly whether what he had just said was too inappropriate, as if he was asking his second uncle for wine.

Would Cheng think that his uncle was greedy? Thinking of this, Jia Zheng's face turned slightly red, and he became more and more uneasy.

At this time, Jia She, who was standing by, heard what Jia Zheng said. He turned around and carefully checked the posture of Jia Cheng in his arms, fearing that the child would feel uncomfortable.

After making sure that Jia Cheng was not feeling uncomfortable, Jia She moved his arm slightly so that Jia Cheng could lean more comfortably in his arms.

When he saw the satisfied and comfortable expression on Jia Cheng's young face, Jia She finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned to Jia Zheng with confidence and said, "My second brother, since you have nothing to do this afternoon, why don't you go and find your friends to recite poems and exchange ideas with you?

We, the military commanders, drink a lot, eat a lot of meat, and behave in a rough manner. You must be disgusted by our vulgar behavior."

It was really funny that Jia She, with the face of a nobleman, said that he was a military general. Anyway, Jia Cheng smiled.

However, the title that Jia She inherited was indeed a general, so it is not wrong to say that he was a military general.

Jia She's words were actually a tactful refusal. He knew very well that he must not let Jia Zheng participate in their drinking and fun with Wang Ziteng.

If Jia Zheng were there, he would not be able to so brazenly report Lady Wang to Wang Ziteng.

Jia Zheng has always been a well-behaved and polite guy, so he might not tolerate him gossiping behind people's backs. The key point is that he was saying bad things about Jia Zheng's wife.

Besides, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. Even if Jia Zheng dislikes Lady Wang, he will still give her some respect for the sake of his children.

Jia She didn't want Jia Zheng to plead for Lady Wang.

Wang Ziteng was also unwilling to drink with Jia Zheng. Over the years, he had come to understand that his brother-in-law was a good-for-nothing.

After working for so many years, he was only promoted half a level and was still a minor official of the fifth rank. He felt unworthy of the official position that Jia Daishan had asked for him before his death.

Wang Ziteng is a practical man who has worked his way up step by step through his political achievements.

He hated people like Jia Zheng who were incompetent at anything and who left nothing after eating. Such people were trash and had no value at all.

So Wang Ziteng also said tactfully: "Cunzhou, I will definitely invite you when I organize a literary gathering next time. Forget it this time."

Wang Ziteng painted a big picture for Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng pulled the corners of his mouth and wanted to smile in response, but his face was very stiff.

Jia Zheng felt anxious when he saw that his request was rejected, but he was too embarrassed to continue asking.

Mrs. Wang sent him another message yesterday, saying that she wanted to come out of the Buddhist temple, or she would be tortured to death if she didn't come out.

Jia Zheng felt a little bit reluctant, thinking that no matter what mistakes Mrs. Wang had made, it took her long enough to atone for her sins.

Last night, Jia Zheng sent some delicious food to Lady Wang, hoping that she would secretly replenish her body. However, just as he put the food on the table, Nanny Wang overturned the table.

Jia Zheng felt that Wang Ma, a servant, was a little too domineering. Even if Wang Ziteng didn't invite Jia She to drink together today, Jia Zheng would have invited Wang Ziteng.

Not only did he want to rescue his wife, he also wanted to file a complaint against Nanny Wang.

Jia Zheng had planned everything well. Today was the day to send Jia Lian to Jinling to take up his new post, which was a good opportunity to plead for mercy.

I'll say this while my second uncle is in a good mood, and I think this will work.

Jia Zheng didn't expect that his plan would be shattered before it even began. Wang Ziteng was not willing to drink with Jia Zheng at all.

When Jia Zheng got drunk, he talked a lot, but Wang Ziteng was unwilling to drink with him.

In the past, Wang Ziteng could tolerate Jia Zheng’s immoral behavior after drinking, but now he doesn’t want to tolerate it anymore. After all, his status is different and Jia She has risen.

In the past, Jia Zheng was the person in charge of Rongguo Mansion and the real head of the family, so Wang Ziteng was willing to give him face.

After all, Wang Ziteng has the connections given to him by Jia Daishan.

Moreover, compared with the absurd Jia She, Jia Zheng looks pretty good. People are judged by comparison.

But since Jia She awakened and had Jia Cheng by his side, he has been reborn, like a different person.

Rongguo Mansion has now returned intact to Jia She's hands.

Wang Ziteng approached Jia She for an unspeakable purpose. On the one hand, he coveted the little unicorn on Jia Cheng's shoulder. On the other hand, Rongguo Mansion was useful to him, and so was Jia She.

After some interaction, he calmed down and interacted with Jia She, and only then did he feel that this person was very compatible with his temperament.

He had not had much contact with Jia She before. Jia She accompanied the prince to study in the palace every day, while Wang Ziteng was training in the army.

Wang Ziteng relied on the last bit of kindness from the four kings and eight dukes and worked hard to climb up.

The two didn't have much in common when they were young, but unexpectedly, when they reached middle age, they became good friends who could talk about anything.

Wang Ziteng has his own troubles in his high position, and Jia She was not happy in Rongguo Mansion before.

When the two talked about their own sorrows, they felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Before Jia Cheng's sixth birthday, Jia She was in a daze, living a life of drunkenness and dreams, and felt that life was hopeless.

It was not until Jia Cheng was six years old that Jia She began to feel some joy in life. He had a new goal in life and was full of hope.

Wang Ziteng likes to listen to Jia She talking about Jia Cheng. After all, Jia Cheng is related to his future career.

In order to make Jia She and Jia Cheng happy, Wang Ziteng would not easily end Mrs. Wang's punishment.

Seeing Mrs. Wang in such bad luck, Jia She was so happy that he wished he could make Mrs. Wang die on the spot.

Seeing that Wang Ziteng was so sensible, Jia She also treated him with some sincerity, and the relationship between the two became better and better.

In Rongguo Mansion, few people feel sympathetic towards Mrs. Wang's situation.

Jia Baoyu felt sorry for Mrs. Wang, but he just said it and did nothing.

Jia Baoyu knew that Mrs. Wang couldn't eat or sleep well, but he could only pray for her silently in his heart.

He never thought of secretly bringing some food to Mrs. Wang. He was more afraid of his father's scolding than his mother's health.

Jia Baoyu's irresponsible behavior made Jia Zheng very disappointed. He had already been thinking about training Jia Huan.

Jia Huan was only three years old and looked quite smart. Aunt Zhao was always whispering in his ear, so Jia Zheng began to pay more and more attention to Jia Huan.

While Mrs. Wang was locked in the Buddhist temple to worship Buddha, Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhou tried their best to seduce Jia Zheng.

Aunt Zhou had no children and wanted a child very much.

In the past, she had to make a living under the control of a vicious mistress like Mrs. Wang. She only dared to treat herself as a transparent person and did not dare to show the slightest sign of competing for favor.

But now that Mrs. Wang was locked up, Aunt Zhou's mind became active and she wanted to have a child.

Even if I only have a daughter, my life will not be boring.

Compared with Aunt Zhou's small wish, Aunt Zhao is extremely arrogant.

She was already favored by Jia Zheng, and now that Lady Wang was locked up, she could be said to be like the monkey king in the absence of a tiger in the mountain in the second house.

Aunt Zhao was domineering towards all the servants in the second house, and she acted like a mischief every day relying on the fact that she had a son and a daughter.

There was chaos in the second room every day, and no one dared to compete with her.

Aunt Zhao didn't consider at all what consequences she would suffer after Lady Wang came out. She just felt happy for a while.

After Jia Zheng sent Jia Lian back, he went straight back to the second room. He was in a bad mood.

He really didn't understand when his elder brother became so close to Wang Ziteng. He was so jealous.

Obviously he is Wang Ziteng's brother-in-law, but Wang Ziteng becomes more and more estranged from him and instead likes to communicate with his elder brother.

Jia Zheng felt that Wang Ziteng did not give him face, and he was really embarrassed, and he was even a little angry with Mrs. Wang.

If Mrs. Wang had not made any mistake, he would not have been so humble as to plead with Wang Ziteng.

It’s all Wang Yarong’s fault, huh!
